Early estimates suggest she will miss Tucson, but she will put enough moisture in the air to give us a nice little windy shower tonight and tomorrow.

You know those guys, in your cubicle jungle, who are just about to go on vacation?

And they are pretty much useless?

You know the types, the ones who wont take on any new action items, and the last day of “work” they are pretty much not in the office, even though they are sitting RIGHT THERE.

Pretty much useless, right?

Well, I’m that guy right now.

You might remember, last year, on his multi-annual visit to what might have been The Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com Vicinity, Cisco brought a little gift from Ciscofornia in the form of a tasty adult beverage, (a Beer) from North Coast Brewing Company, except this year, The Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com were on a Tour-de-Jeremy at the time. So we could not receive this in person.
North Coast Brewing’s Le Merle A Belgian-style Farmhouse ale, or a “Saison”

I just realized, this morning, that this is the first full week I will have worked in well over a month.

The last time I worked a week without taking a single day off, was back in Mid August.

This is just one piece of Mindless Banter today.

One of the more anecdotal stories from Vacation was an incident which happened on Friday, after the Sushi run, when “E” and “S” went to the beach to take revenge against all things Sting-Ray.

Growler, “J”, “N” and The Editors of Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com were running errands around Encinitas [WOO HOO!], which involved going to a FedEx Kinkos and making a strategic detour to Baskin-Robbins

The Girls wanted Iced Cream, or it was Growler. I’m not sure, and I don’t remember – I was trying to recover from spending 5 minutes in a Kinkos. (Something I avoid doing; at least I didn’t have to use the customer service counter.)

One of the more intellectually interesting events of Vacation was the tour of the Temecula Valley Wine County. Its about an hour out of the Really Greater San Diego area, and was a great day trip for wine snobs and non-wine-snobs alike.

We visited three wineries in the area:

• Maurice Car’rie
• Callaway
• La Cereza

The hardest part of the day was not quoting the movie Sideways
